DISPENSING VESSEL.

Specification of Letters latent.

Patented June '13, 1911.

Application filed August 31, 1910. Serial No. 579,917.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. GARNET, a citizen of the United States,residing at Allentown, in the county of Lehigh and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inDispensing Vessels; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

This invention relates to vessels or receptacles for dispensing liquids,and more particularly liquid soap; and it consists in the novelconstruction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully describedand claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the vessel. Fig. 2 is a planview of the vessel. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of thelower part of thevessel, showing the valves, and is drawn to a larger scale.

A is a receiver for the liquid soap. This receiver is preferably formedof glass, and is substantially globular or pear-shaped in form. At itstop the receiver has a fiat disk B which enables it to be stood on atable in an inverted position so that it can be filled with the soap.

The receiver has at its lower end a neck having two screw-threadedportions C and D, a shoulder a, and a conical projection 03. Theprojection 65 is arranged between the two parts C and D, and the part Dis smaller than the part C. The shoulder c is arranged at the bottom ofthe main portion of the receiver where the larger screwthreaded part Cis connected to it.

E is ,a support for the receiver provided at one end with a screwthreaded socket e of thin sheet metal which engages with the screwthreaded part C. The socket c has a flexible enlargement c at its topwhich engages neatly with the receiver. At its other end the support Ehas a flange or plate 6 for securing it to the wash-stand.

F is a screw threaded cap of thin sheet metal which screws onto thesmaller part D and which has a conical enlargement f at its upper endfor engaging. with the conical. projection d, and forming a'neat oint atthat point. The flexibility of the sheet metal enables the enlargementto adapt itself to the part (i when the cap is screwed up.

G is a valve-seat which depends from the soft compressible materialinserted in the chamber 9' and bearing against the bottom of the part Dso that no soap can leak out.

I is a short tube the bottom edge of which forms a seat for thecheck-valve. This tube I depends from the bottom of the main valve-seatG, and is tapered in the reverse dlrection from the main valve-seat.

J is the main plug-valve which is ground into the valve-seat G, and j isa weight above the plug-valve for depressing it and holding it tight inits seat.

K is the check-valve which is preferably substantially globular in form.The check- Valve is arranged below the tube I, and it is provided with ascrew threaded stem is which is screwed into a hole in the bottom of theplug-valve. This stem afl'ords ameans for adjusting the lift of theplug-Valve.

The device is operated by raising the valves by hand. Some of the liquidsoap descends by gravity into the seat of the plugvalve, and thecheck-valve prevents any large quantity of soap from pouring out intothe hand. When the check-valve is released the weighted plug-Valvedescends automatically and forces out a small quantity of llquid soapinto the hand. In operation the valves are tapped lightly to raise andlower them quickly, thereby letting out a suitable quantity of soap.

The glass vessel enables any one to see when it requires to be refilledwith soap. The larger size of the screw threaded part D enables thereceiver to be connected to the support after it has been refilled andthe valves have been secured to it.

What I claim 'is:

In a dispensing device, the combination, with a vessel for holding theliquid to be dispensed, said vessel having an externally screw threadedneck, of a cap provided with a screw threaded portion for engaging withthe screw threads on the neck and having also a tubular projection whichis slidable in the neck, an annular chamber being formed between thesaid projection and the screw threaded portion of the cap, said caphaving also a conical main Valve seat depending from it and a checkvalve seat at the bottom of the main valve seat, a' main valve normallyresting on the main valve seat, a check valve depending from the mainvalve and afl'ording a means fior raising the main valve, and packingmaterial arranged in the said annular chamber between the cap and theend of the said neck.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my slgnature in the presence of twowitnesses.

GEORGE HENRY GARNET.
